Beyond all mortal compliment you have seen beauty of nature and rising sun. Such a tender sun motivates mind to feel the fresh appearance. Beauty dwells within the soul as righteous grace of God. This poem is greatly and excellently penned basing upon perception...10

Valerie thank you so much for writing this poem in the style you express so lovingly. Please don't be offended when I say there are warm and most welcome echoes in your writing, of two of my favourite writers and their good names are Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Jean Ingelow. Thank you so much.

Wow, I'm so glad to see modern writers paying homage to the beautiful writing style of the old masters. The spirit of the ole' romantics lives on with your poetry. You have inspired me that I may say poetry is not dead. We cannot and will not abandon rhyme and meter because modern academics tell us to. Look what modern art has done to the universities. Squares, dots, and smudges replace the refined genius of Monet, Waterhouse, and Da Vinci. Let it not be the same with poetry. I can't wait to read your other poems. Keep writing!

Dear Madam, you are such a senior poet with huge experience of life and poetics. It is not for a child like me to comment on your craft. I am sure many people in PoemHunter will be happy if a senior poet like you wins! ! Wish you all the best for the contest. But you cannot predict anything in an Online Contest like this - which can be easily manipulated by cyber savvy poets! ! (See my poem Poem Hunter Contest Final just to have an idea of how a contest can be manipulated...)

So it's been said that we are all light beings, created from light and thus beauty radiates from within the soul of those who believe in such things spreading light to others, as in this poem.......
